Total Value Chain Optimization of seaweeds Furcellaria lumbricalis, A bioeconomical ALGAE demonstration TACO ALGAE TACO Algae will take a circular economy approach to evaluate two different red algae species in existing SMEs. The first one is currently harvested wild, while the other is cultured in a sustainable new cultivation system. The circular economy approach focuses… Continue reading Total Value Chain Optimization of seaweeds Furcellaria lumbricalis, A bioeconomical ALGAE demonstration

Marine Innovation using Novel Enzymes for waste Reduction and Valorisation of Algal biomass
Marine Innovation using Novel Enzymes for waste Reduction and Valorisation of Algal biomass MINERVA MINERVA aims to valorise underutilised seaweed biomass sustainably produced across Europe, to develop new high-value products and reduce waste in current processes. It will add value to brown algal biomass presently used at low efficiency, focused on bulk Ascophyllum (wild-harvest) and… Continue reading Marine Innovation using Novel Enzymes for waste Reduction and Valorisation of Algal biomass
Novel enhanced bioplastics from sustainable processing of seaweed
Novel enhanced bioplastics from sustainable processing of seaweed PlastiSea Conventional plastic materials are made from non-renewable resources and their pollution presents a global threat to marine environments. The EU recently voted for a complete ban of the most common single use plastics by 2021 which has significantly stimulated the interest in bio-based and biodegradable materials,… Continue reading Novel enhanced bioplastics from sustainable processing of seaweed
